a) Localizing of Acoustic Source and Selection of Abnormal Acoustic Source Candidate Local Area

Localizing of Acoustic Source

First, in the acoustic source localizing step, a level of an acoustic source for each position is calculated based on acoustic data acquired by a plurality of acoustic sensor arrays.

Specifically, in the acoustic data acquisition step (S10), the acoustic data acquisition unit 10 acquires acoustic data through an acoustic sensor array 11 configured by a plurality of acoustic sensors.

Next, in the position-specific acoustic level calculation step (S20), the acoustic calculation unit 21 of the acoustic processing unit 20 calculates a position-specific acoustic level in a direction of the acoustic sensor array. Specifically, the acoustic level is position-specific beam power.

In an embodiment, delay distance calculation of calculating distances between sensors and virtual plane positions is performed using a sensor coordinate and a virtual plane coordinate, time delay correction is applied to each of the acoustic wave signals using the delay distances, and these delay distances are summed to generate acoustic source values of the virtual plane positions. Beam power levels of the generated acoustic source values are calculated and generated.

The contents about the acoustic source localizing (acoustic field visualizing) disclosed in US Patent No. U.S. Ser. No. 10/945,705 B2 (Portable ultrasonic facilities diagnosis device) and Korean Patent No. 10-1976756 (Portable ultrasonic image facilities diagnosis device including electronic means for visualizing radiated ultrasonic waves) registered by applicants of the present disclosure will be disclosed in the specification of the present disclosure.

FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C are images showing an acoustic source localizing result according to an embodiment of the present disclosure by overlapping an optical image with an acoustic field visualizing result (position-specific acoustic level, wherein the level is beam power).

The localizing of the acoustic source is performed by a delay-sum beamforming method of detecting a time delay between a position of a signal collected through each sensor included in the sensor array and a sensor and estimating a generation position of the acoustic source in front of the sensor array.

Selection of Abnormal Acoustic Source Candidate

In the abnormal acoustic source candidate selection step (S30), the abnormal acoustic source candidate selection unit 23 selects one position as a local area representative position (e.g., the representative position is a local maximum position) in at least one local area (abnormal acoustic source candidate local area) of grouping positions having acoustic levels exceeding a predetermined (or predefined) level.

As illustrated in FIG. 2A, in an embodiment, there are a first local area (abnormal acoustic source candidate local area) and a second local area of grouping positions having an acoustic level exceeding a predetermined (or predefined) level. Generally, since there is a high possibility that one acoustic source exists in the local area, in the selection of the local area, whether an acoustic level (beam power level) is continuously increased toward a central portion of each local area may be used as a factor (parameter) of whether to select a local area.

For example, it is preferred that a first local area representative position is a position where the beam power level is maximum in the first local area. A representative position may be present in a red part of forming the central portion in the first local area. Even in the second local area, a representative position is selected in the same manner.

b) Extraction of Time Domain Acoustic Signal

A time domain acoustic signal and a time-axis acoustic signal refer to acoustic signals expressed according to a time flow in the same meaning. A vertical axis represents a time axis and a lateral axis represents an amplitude of the acoustic signal.

Next, in the candidate acoustic source time domain acoustic signal extraction step, a regenerated (time domain beamformed) time domain acoustic signal of a position estimated as that the acoustic source is present is extracted based on the level of the acoustic source for each position. In an embodiment, the position estimated as that the acoustic source is present may be a representative position, or a maximum level position of the local area.

In the time-axial acoustic signal extraction step (S40), the acoustic processing unit 20 extracts a time-axial acoustic signal (time signal, time domain beamformed time-axial acoustic signal) of a local area representative position belonging to an abnormal acoustic source candidate local area.

In the present disclosure, the “regenerated time domain acoustic signal of the position” means a time-axial reference acoustic signal generated by an acoustic method or a beamforming method of reconfiguring an acoustic source of a specific position (or specific direction) using a plurality of acoustic sensors.

As illustrated in FIG. 3 , the regeneration of the time-axial acoustic signal may be performed by a delay beam summing method. A delay distance between each of sensors configuring the sensor array and a local area representative position is calculated, the signal is corrected by applying time delay to an acquisition signal of each sensor by the delay distance, and the corrected signals are summed to generate a time-axial signal for the representative position.

In the time-axial acoustic signal extraction step (S40), in the position-specific acoustic level calculation step (S20), that is, the acoustic source localizing step, an acoustic signal located in the representative position is extracted (selected) and produced from acoustic signals of each position regenerated by the time domain beamforming.

FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment of a time domain beamforming, that is, time domain signal regeneration process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

An acoustic pressure signal reaching a microphone is

p(t)=[p ₁(t),p ₂(t), . . . ,p _(M)(t)]^(T)

Scan vectors (delay time) for each position and each time are

w(θ, t) = [w₁(θ, t), w₂(θ, t), …, w_(M)(θ, t)]^(T) $\begin{matrix} {{w_{m}\left( {\theta,t} \right)} = {{\frac{1}{M} \cdot \frac{1}{2\pi}}{\int_{- \infty}^{\infty}{e^{{- i}{{\omega\Delta\tau}({m - 1})}\sin\theta}e^{{- i}\omega t}d\omega}}}} \\ {= {\frac{1}{M}{\delta\left( {t + {{{\Delta\tau}\left( {m - 1} \right)}\sin\theta}} \right)}}} \end{matrix}.$

A delay-sum beamforming output signal, that is, a regeneration time domain acoustic signal is

${b\left( {\theta,t} \right)} = {\frac{1}{M}{\sum\limits_{m = 1}^{M}{{p_{m}\left( {t - {{{\Delta\tau}\left( {m - 1} \right)}\sin\theta}} \right)}.}}}$

Wherein, M represents a microphone channel number and θ represents an incident angle of the acoustic source.

FIG. 5 shows a time domain acoustic signal of a one-time repeated pattern. FIG. 5A illustrates a signal measured directly by a single channel and FIG. 5B illustrates a time domain acoustic signal regenerated through beamforming by using a plurality of acoustic sensors (microphones) like the present disclosure. As such, a feature of the time domain signal is magnified by extracting the time signal for the position and expressed as an acoustic feature image to be recognized by AI acoustic analysis.

c) Generation of Acoustic Feature Image

As illustrated in FIGS. 3, 6A and 6B, in the acoustic feature image generation step, an acoustic feature is extracted from a time domain acoustic signal of a candidate acoustic source to generate a color feature image.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1, 3, and 6A and 6B, in the acoustic feature image generation step (S50), the acoustic feature image generation unit 50 generates color images (e.g., spectrogram) based on the data obtained by feature extraction or conversion for the time-axial acoustic signal of the local area representative position.

FIG. 6A shows a time-axial acoustic signal (time domain acoustic signal) and a spectrogram of one candidate position (first local area, gas leakage position, 500 cc/min) in the embodiment of FIG. 2 . FIG. 6B shows a time-axial acoustic signal (time domain acoustic signal) and a spectrogram of one candidate position (background noise simulation unit, second local area) in the embodiment of FIG. 2 .

The acoustic feature image generation unit 50 may image at least one feature parameter selected from Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Multi-resolution Short-Time Fourier Transform, mel filterbank, log mel filterbank energy applied with log, mel-frequency filterbank conversion, and multi-resolution log-mel spectrogram through log conversion to be generated as input and learning data.

d) AI Acoustic Classification

In the AI acoustic classification step, the acoustic feature image is recognized and the acoustic classification for the candidate acoustic source is performed by using a pre-learned AI acoustic classification means.

In the acoustic classification step (S60), the AI acoustic analysis unit 60 recognizes the feature image to be classified as one of pre-learned acoustic scenes. For example, the AI acoustic analysis unit 60 may perform acoustic classification for the candidate acoustic source by a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained using an acoustic feature image.

e) Object Recognition

In the object image classification step, a type of object located at the candidate acoustic source is determined by video analysis of a candidate acoustic source coordinate or adjacent position. In the abnormal acoustic source determination step, when the acoustic classification and the type of object are included in a predetermined monitoring target range, the acoustic source is determined as an abnormal acoustic source and an alarm signal is generated.

In the object recognition step (S70), the object recognition unit 70 recognizes a type of object located in the abnormal acoustic source candidate local area based on the video image in an adjacent area of the abnormal acoustic source candidate local area(s) or the abnormal acoustic source candidate position(s).

For example, the object recognition unit 70 includes a convolutional neural network (CNN) pre-learning images of facilities, environments, and humans and may be an AI means which receives a video image of an adjacent area of the abnormal acoustic source candidate position(s) to determine a type (facility, human, pipe, motor, machine, transformer, and power line). FIG. 7 shows a used state diagram of the present disclosure and shows a video image showing gas facilities, humans, motor facilities, and the like and shows an abnormal acoustic source candidate local area (noise generation local area).

f) Determination

In the abnormal acoustic source determination step, when the acoustic classification for the candidate acoustic source belongs to a predefined monitoring target range, the acoustic source is determined as the abnormal acoustic source.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 , in the abnormal acoustic source determination step (S80), when the classification of the acoustic scene of step S60 coincides with or has relevance with a predefined abnormal acoustic source sensing target (for example, the acoustic scene is gas leakage and the predefined sensing target is gas-related facilities), the candidate local area or local area representative position is determined as the abnormal acoustic source.

In the case of including the object recognition step (S70) by the object recognition unit 70, when the classification of the acoustic scene determined by the AI acoustic analysis unit 60, the type (feature) of object recognized by the object recognition unit 70, and the predefined abnormal acoustic source sensing target range all are matched with each other (e.g., the acoustic scene is gas leakage, the object image is a gas pipe, and the sensing target is gas-related facilities), the determination unit 80 determines the candidate local area or the candidate position as the abnormal acoustic source.

e) Alarm and Transmission

As illustrated in FIG. 1 , in the alarm and transmission step (S90), when the abnormal acoustic source candidate local area or the abnormal acoustic source candidate position is determined as the abnormal acoustic source, the determination unit 80 generates an alarm signal. The transmission unit 90 transmits optical acoustic image information of overlapping an optical video image with an acoustic field visualizing image generated by the acoustic calculation unit 21 to the server 110.
